Went to the library recently, and said: "need to take my mind off politics and legal matters!" So, what do I do, but take out a book about America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, And The "War On Terror", which includes some personal accounts. Depressing, hard hitting book. And, with the Washington Post article about secret foreign interrogation camps and Cheney not wanting to end the practice (you know, since it's his call, and all), I guess it's timely. Actually, I saw the book before, but dealt with less depressing matters ... like, teenage Jewish refugees during WWII.
I did catch the WB show Related tonight -- not bad, you know, for a chick show. Seriously, as one review noted, the best character is the youngest -- a wet behind the ears college co-ed who shifted from pre-med to acting. Continue to be addicted to DaVinci's Inquest, the Canadian show that airs on WGN (Chicago), which is part of my package. Also, caught another DI sighting on a t.v. movie, another small part. Just love those sightings! Lol.
Btw, in response to a question, I discovered Scalia was the first Italian-American nominee ... Alito is the second. Since none of the failed nominees were Italian, this means there were two such nominees. A bit striking actually. OTOH, Roger Taney was the first Roman Catholic.
